1937 Hobo Nickel “Life Is A Ripe Berry, Reach Out And Pick It” by Howard Thomas

Posted on February 26, 2018

“This 1937 hobo nickel was carved/sculpted by artist Howard Thomas. OHNS # 1184. This little hobo mouse has struck out for new adventures. We call it “Life Is A Ripe Berry, Reach Out And Pick It”!

All of Howards works are one of a kind. Although he may make similar pieces, he never duplicates them. This is the newer version of Howard’s signature. He changed it a bit to enable him to put it on the side of the actual carving. ” eBay Link
